Abstract
A system and method for temperature control of the human body includes an indwelling catheter with a tip-mounted heat transfer element. The catheter is fluidically coupled to a console that provides a heated or cooled heat transfer working fluid to exchange heat with the heat transfer element, thereby heating or cooling blood. The heated or cooled blood then heats or cools the patient's body or a selected portion thereof. Cooling is provided while monitoring an EEG signal of a patient, and employing the same to monitor a depth of hypothermia of the patient.
